Many museums inspire awe and wonder, transporting visitors back to the past or giving them a glimpse of the future, but few can claim to be a paradise for those who walk through the doors.

Just north of Interstate 10, and ninety minutes away from Pensacola to the west and Tallahassee to the east you’ll find Bonifay, Florida. This small community of 2,700 is the county seat for Holmes County, and like many other rural communities of its size, the people here are facing – and meeting – the economic challenges and realities of rural life.

One of the long-standing challenges in rural America is access to health care, and a small critical access facility in Bonifay is making a difference with a little help from USDA Rural Development.
